Effects types
Beam intensity FX (1-13)
These FX modulate the intensity of all the Beam LEDs together while maintaining the color(s) set by the
RGB channels, RGB pixel channels and P3 pixels.
The color selected on the Beam virtual color wheel is used as background color.
• For example, when the Beam virtual color wheel is set to 0 (open), the
Beam 2x Strobe
FX will strobe
normal color on a black background.
• For example, when the Beam virtual color wheel is set to Green, the
Beam 2x Strobe
FX will strobe
normal color on a green background.
Beam pixel FX (17-68)
These FX use individual Beam pixels for animated effects while maintaining the color(s) set by the RGB
channels, RGB pixel channels and P3 pixels.
Also for these effects the Beam Virtual Color Wheel can be used to select a background color.
Beam color FX (72-98)
These FX override the Beam color(s) set by the RGB channels, RGB pixel channels, virtual color wheel and
P3 pixels.
Beam color modifier FX (102-110)
These FX shift the color(s) set by the RGB channels, RGB pixel channels, virtual color wheel and P3 pixels.
Beam Time FX (114)
The
Beam Video Slo-Mo
FX sets the output of Beam pixels to the average of the last xxx video frames
(DMX or P3), to create a slow-motion effect. The FX Speed channel defines xxx, i.e. the number of frames
used when calculating this average.
Aura intensity FX (118-130)
These FX modulate the intensity of all the Aura Filaments together while maintaining the color(s) set by the
RGB channels, RGB pixel channels and P3 pixels.
The color selected on the Aura virtual color wheel is used as background color.
• For example, when the Aura virtual color wheel is set to 0 (open), the
Beam 2x Strobe
FX will strobe
normal color on a black background.
• For example, when the Aura virtual color wheel is set to Green, the
Beam 2x Strobe
FX will strobe
normal color on a green background.
Aura pixel FX (134-192)
These FX use individual Aura filaments for animated effects while maintaining the color(s) set by the RGB
channels, RGB pixel channels and P3 pixels.
Also for these effects the Aura virtual color wheel can be used to select a background color.
